Hooray for clear scans! "Let go" is sometimes too much for me. For the past few years, I've been working with "Let be." Feels a little gentler and more doable. Allows me to let a feeling exist w/o feeling like it has to vanish. xo

"Who will I be without all the reminders of who I didn’t sign up to be?" Whoa. This so perfectly articulates something I'm really struggling with. Letting go is so hard, even with the things we don't want to be holding. May we be gentle and patient with ourselves. Congrats on Lou's clear scans!

Congratulations. Your musings are always an inspiration.

Like you I find that letting sneaks forward incrementally but often accumulates with a flash of light.

Thanks for sharing xx

Alex, im curious about the advice your mentor offered, " when in doubt, let go". Can you put that in context ?
